Kami is an annotation tool for secondary staff and students to use on their laptop/Chromebook. It will allow you to highlight, markup, define words, text to speech and more! On top of that, it integrates with Schoology, our LMS for all secondary students.
To use Kami, you must first install the extension on your Chrome browser by visiting the link below. After that, because you are on your @eastpennsd.org Google account, you will be automatically registered for the premium EDU account.
With Kami, you can have the text read to you, define words using the dictionary tool, as well as changing the theme to a dark theme!
In this video, our tech integration team explains how students will use Kami to annotate and submit assignments to Schoology.
Kami allows you to zoom in by using the buttons located at the top centre of your screen. Kami will automatically detect the best zoom for your screen and adjust the PDF accordingly. You can also use standard keyboard shortcuts for zooming in. Ctrl and + will zoom in while Ctrl and - will zoom out.
